@getoffthesoapbox Wasn’t Zero hurt while protecting a child? I thought I read that in one of the translations...(problems with reading french and several english translations is that you got confused easily ahah). Anyway, you’re right : Hino has hinted so many things by now that if she wants to explain everything she baited us with, she will need more than 5 volumes, in my humble opinion. Honestly? Either Hino passes her nerves and moodswings on her story, or she just loves seeing the fanbase’s sides collide again lol. I mean, VKM 13 is still fresh in the mind of most of the fans. (at this point I’m betting who’s next to have his reputation ruined by Hino ahah) Let’s hope she won’t concentrate much on her past errors (what’s done is done after all) and that she will focus on making this “sequel” as best as possible! :D
I would really love to see the Takuma beinh the Vking happening (everything you said is very interesting: I like how you highlighted the fact that Takuma would be a perfect obstacle to a) Zeki b)the whole goal those two are headed to. However... well, if Takuma has been attracted to Kaname and Sara (even if she tortured him from the first moment he awoke at her mansion) I don't really understand why he didn't develop a "attracted" bond with Yuuki? Anyway, keep up the good job, you're amazing !
Fufu, I am desperate for genuine conflict in this story, and that’s why I’m constantly searching for any small clue that might get us that conflict. ;)
To answer your question, I think the reason Takuma isn’t attracted to Yuuki is the same reason he isn’t attracted to Ai or Isaya–outside of specific heartaches common to people in general, they’re for the most part healthy, well-adjusted, kind people who don’t have this “wound” that he’s irrevocably drawn to.
If I could put it in realistic terms, Takuma is the kind of person (I think) who likes to “fix” broken people–or at least be in their vicinity. He’s a drama queen, and their brokenness and his proximity to it makes him feel important.
Yuuki’s broken, but she’s broken in a different way than Takuma is interested in, plus she already has her “chosen person” (the very person Takuma dislikes haha) to help her with her own brokenness–and even in her brokenness, she still strives to walk the straight and narrow.
Takuma seems to like the ones who deliberately choose to abandon the light, Sara out of boredom and loneliness, Kaname out of misguided idealism.
But it could just be that there’s a limit to how many purebloods a single noble can be drawn toward. ;) Takuma already had more than his fair share with two fufu. (There’s also the fact that Yuuki’s charisma is really low and he knew her as a human, and thus maybe the charismamones effect doesn’t work with her.)
These are my thoughts for now, but who knows what the reality is. ;)
